Lifezone Metals Limited (LZM): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol LZM · Basic Materials · Other Precious Metals · Isle of Man · Speculative
Is LZM undervalued?
At 3.94 (close of 5 Nov 2026), LZM has no GLS fair value: every one of the nine models needs a positive input (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -0.27, it pays no dividend and its debts exceed what its assets would fetch), so the margin of safety is blank and the Wheel Score cannot be computed. Our scans leave the stock out at the first filter. What can be said from the nightly row is below.
The nightly engine files LZM under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for LZM
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | - | - | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth; no value tonight |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.8974 | -123% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 7.00 | +78% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
Lifezone Metals Limited scores only 4 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 0.8/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -10.3%, ROE -18.5%, ROA -7.8% - with debt at 0.79 times equity and negative free cash flow.
Lifezone Metals Limited pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 4/10, insider activity 10/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -10.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 0.8 / 10 | ROE | -18.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.79 | ROA | -7.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -6.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 4 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 10 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 15: Weak
With a Wheel Score of 15 Lifezone Metals Limited sits in the Weak band. It fails filter 1, options that actually trade - options too quiet (14,438 open interest, 20 a day); and filter 2, a real business, not a gamble - speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score); and filter 3, below fair value - trades right at our fair value; and filter 4, financially healthy - Piotroski 4/9 (under 6); and filter 5, can repay its debt - debt with no positive cash flow to repay it; and filter 6, no serious red flags - Red Flags score 55 (under 60); and filter 7, a premium worth selling - implied volatility 96% (over 80%); and filter 8, big enough - market cap $354M (under $1.0B); and filter 9, not a penny stock - price 3.94 (under $5); Value (weak) is its weakest part.
Implied volatility is 96%, above the 80% ceiling of the Wheel Trade Filter on premium. The premium looks generous, but moves of that size can blow through any strike. Chain open interest is 14,438 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 643k shares a day on a market cap of $354M, with a beta of 1.34 - a high beta, so the stock tends to move more than the market and a strike can be gapped through; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

Is LZM undervalued right now?
The GLS models could not value LZM (the company lost money over the last twelve months, EPS -0.27, it pays no dividend and its debts exceed what its assets would fetch), so there is no fair value or margin of safety to compare the price of 3.94 against.
What is the Wheel Score of LZM and what does it mean?
LZM scores 15 out of 100 (Weak) - it fails Wheel Trade Filters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The Wheel Score ranks stocks for the wheel strategy - selling cash-secured puts, then covered calls if assigned - in two parts: the 9 pass/fail Wheel Trade Filters (busy options, a real business, below fair value, Piotroski 6 or more, debt it can repay, a Red Flags score of 60 or more, implied volatility of 25-80%, a $1 billion company, $5 a share) and a ranking of how strongly a stock passes on value, premium, moat, health, red flags, option trading and stability. A stock that fails any filter stays under 70; 70-84 is Good, 85 and above is Prime. The Sunday Scan is the top 10 that pass, sorted by Wheel Score.
